Lmao at car dealership owners supporting Trump by Assad like margins only for him to drop a nuke on their fucking heads.

(This is aside to be clear not trying to be a douche but the real nukes would be obviating their weird business model and/or investing in rail and/or improving urban design)

If the experience with steel tariffs in 2018 are anything to go by, the US domestic manufacturers will also up their prices to just under the tariffed prices because they can. Hope it inadvertently boosts e-bike adoption in the states, would be a real monkey’s paw moment for the GOP lol

@paulgp.com likes to include suicidal people in research against their will and refuses to remove them. What sort of scumbag targets suicidal people? Paul Goldsmith-Pinkham. Fuck the Nuremberg Code eh Paul?

It appears even what I think of as an American car would be subject to the tariffs.

Based on industry discussions—including one referencing the Kogod School of Business 2022 index—it appears that only about 55% of a Ford Bronco’s components are sourced from the United States. This suggests that roughly 45% of its parts are manufactured outside the USA.
